5 Friday Faves (+ an etsy giveaway)

It is hard to believe at this time last week I was basking away (In the shade with SPF 55+. Have you seen how pale I am?) on a Hawaiian beach. Le sigh. I have been beyond exhausted all week and I cannot wait to sleep in tomorrow. CANNOT WAIT. Like you have absolutely no idea.

Oh, so I promised you a Hawaii recap two days ago? Well, don't hate me, but can you wait until Monday? Ugh, I know. I'm the girl that cried wolf.

I have literally been eating whatever scraps I can find in my house (the grocery store is calling my name), working out and then passing out after work every night. But I end up waking up around 9 p.m. and not being able to go back to sleep until after 2 a.m. Like I said, exhausted. Editing all the pictures and writing candidly about the trip is going to have to wait until this weekend. I keep getting "Um, are you alive?" and "we are not friends" texts from all my friends because I owe them all phone calls in a bad way. So you my dear readers, are not the only ones I've been neglecting.

Enough of my excuses. I have Friday Favorites from the week below and you'll have to scroll all the way down to see how to enter today's Etsy Giveaway c/o the sweet Becky at Petals, Lace and Pearls! You may remember her as one of my February Sponsors. TGIF. Please love me still.

Favorite Nail Polish:

I have been eyeing this trend and I finally took the plunge and went mint green! On my nails is "Blue Mist" by e.l.f., a bargain $1 dupe for essie's Mint Candy Apple. I've said before I'm not a fan of cheapo nail polish, but this particular polish has actually held up well for me. No chips!

Favorite Hair Style:

My messy bun. All day, every day for work. Saves my hair from the heat.

Favorite Food:

Slow Cooker Italian Chicken over tri-color rotini c/o Beth via Pinterest - So good and so easy to make. My brother and nephew loved it (as did I).

WHAT?!! e.l.f does nail polish! How did I not know this!? Is it available only through their website? I'm loving that green, I'm wearing a similar shade now, it's Loreal. Love the book club bag, so funny! Happy Friday! : )
